Coote – Lockport, IL

Keith and Jennifer began as high school sweethearts. Their relationship withstood Keith's time overseas in the U.S. Marines Corps. Keith currently supports his family with his own carpentry work. Jennifer does it all -- working during the day, going to school at night, coaching volleyball on the weekends. The couple's mantra is "anything for the kids," including high-energy Jake who, whether playing baseball, watching TV, or sitting in a classroom, makes his presence known. Cassidy, the athletic, academic princess, gets what she wants, whenever she wants it.

"Jake makes his prescense known...." from the profile quote....does this mean abnoxious???? and daughter gets what she wants when she wants it...??? Please...I think that I just threw up in my mouth a little bit! Can't wait...

I really like this family and it annoys me to no end that the other three families are such sore losers that they can't even be happy for them. I've yet to see any sign of being "sore winners". They celebrate just like the ones who win the elimination challenge celebrate. Considering how young the children are in comparison to some of the others, its really amazing that they keep winning.

Re: Coote – Lockport, IL

They were sore losers last night, imo.
Snotty, whining kids who didn't even want to share in the reward when the Pollard's graciously asked if the other two families could join them in their hotel suite.

They've played very well, their teamwork in particular has been excellent and they haven't been handicapped by having two of the smaller and obviously less physically strong children on their team.
I thought the way they behaved laat night after losing was disappointing.
